Palco Acquires Britt Lumber Co.

Russ and Bob Britt. co-owners of Britt Lumber Co., Arcata, Ca., have reached a binding agreement to sell their company to Pacific Lumber Company's parent company. No price was disclosed in the transaction.

Under the terms of the acquisition, Britt Lumber will continue to operate under its own name and will still be managed by the Britt brothers, who this year celebrated 30 years of working together.

This move, Russ Britt said, "will provide a source of logs that will ensure the future of our company and its employees." A major manufacturer of redwood fence and deck lumber. Britt was founded in Eureka approximately 30 years ago and has been situated at its present site in Arcata for l7 years.

John A. Campbell, president of The Pacific Lumber Co., said the move was part of a long-range Palco strategy to grow locally, as well as add more value to its log and lumber products. He emphasized that the acquisition would not require any increase in the Pacific Lumber Company's current rate of harvest.

"For some years we have been selling our small diameter young growth logs on the open market because our own mills were designed for larger logs," Campbell said. "This acquisition will give us a top notch facility to efficiently convert this small diameter class here in Humboldt County with local workers."

"We believe Britt Lumber is the best producer of fence lumber in the west," said Campbell, "and we are very pleased to have them join the Palco family."

Campbell said Palco has embarked on a long-range program of growth through adding more value and diversity to its products.

"We believe we have solid growth potential through adding value," Campbell said, "and the concept fits in very well with our long-term commitment to the people and the economy here on the North Coast."

Bush On Saving Forest Jobs

President George Bush wants to find a balance between protecting the spotted owl and maintaining forest industry jobs in the Northwest.

"We have got to find a way to protect our environment without throwing men and women out of work in this country," he told radio reporters. "l don't care whether it's the Ohio Valley or timber areas in Oregon or wherever it is. We cannot turn our back on people who are struggling to make ends meet and need a job and I am not going to do that.

"l do think of myself as an environmentalist I know I'm a conservationist. Whatever the answer is to this, I don't think that we can accept an answer that's going to paralyze employment in the Northwest. There's got to be a middle ground that protects the owland still permits people to work for a living."

The

Dire Effects OfOwl Plan

A new state impact analysis has determined 1-s,400 jobs and $610 million could be lost in Oregon by 1995 if the Interagency Spotted Owl Committee report is implemented as is.

While the statistics coincide with Northwest Forestry Association predictions, they are nearly double Wilderness Society estimates for jobs lost in the entire northwest.

A separate state report forecasts the owl plan would reduce timber harvest on federal lands bv 600lr.
